Final thoughts on preseason

[Iowanian]

I liked some things and there are still areas of concern.

There is an improvement at qb from 1-3, but Daniel doesn't look like a leader of a 10-11 game team. Smith is exactly the game manager right now, but he's shown himself to be mobile. My biggest gripe with him would be he's been too cautious, but it was pre-season so we'll see. Charles should put up great numbers running and receiving in this offense. Bray has a really nice arm, but we'll see how his brain, work ethic, footwork and decision making improve. Hopefully we don't see him on the field until next August.

My biggest concern is the O-line, especially early in the season. I think they'll improve as the season goes on and its' fortunate that Jax is the first game to get their feet wet.

I"m thrilled with the special teams....great kicks, big returns, blocked kicks......huge improvement here which shows improvement in those spots 40-53 to me.

The defense is going to be more exciting and they're going to get burned on occasion. I'll take that.
